I've been suffering with cr@ppy performance on mirror's edge with my 4870x2 that couldn't handle the game @ 2560x1600 and barely ran it @ 1920x1200 without any AA or aniso on the previous 8.12 drivers + hotfix. (riva tuner monitoring showed only 50% usage on either core)

However, after updating to 9.1, wow - guess they added a crossfire profile to the driver for mirror's edge as its working beautifully now. Riva tuner monitoring is showing near 100% usage on Both cores and running the game at 60+ fps @ 2560x1600 with 8xqFSAA and 16xAniso.

So if you're wondering whether or not to update, do so.

I'm running 9.2 now and Mirrors Edge won't run at all now. It loads up, screen goes all blocky and full of artifacts then it blue screens. AMD really need to pull thier finger out with these drivers.

If this **** doesnt improve it'll be the last Radeon I buy.
